Drive Ambassadors spearhead collection drives in their school or community. To structure a successful drive, Drive Ambassadors will work with GOOD+ Foundation staff on this service learning project to better understand, communicate, and meet the needs of families GOOD+ Foundation serves. Drive themes can include collecting clothing, books, school supplies, winter coats, diapers, or new baby essentials such as pacifiers, baby bottles, teethers and diaper wipes.
Drive Ambassadors will be responsible for organizing, marketing, executing and conducting an inventory of their school or community drive. It’s a great way for students to build leadership skills!
How to Host a Drive
WHAT YOU NEED: We can provide a bin to collect items, as well as information cards to place near the bins to educate other students on our work.
TIME: Drives are most effective when held for at least one week. Most students will host for two weeks to one month.
DELIVERY: After your drive has concluded, you work with your team member at GOOD+ Foundation to drop the items collected off at our warehouse (located outside of Culver City on Jefferson Blvd, east of La Brea). We sign off on students’ community service hours and provide them with a Drive Ambassador certificate!

Mission Statement
Founded by Jessica Seinfeld, GOOD+ Foundation (formerly Baby Buggy) is a nonprofit organization that partners with a national network of leading programs to break the cycle of family poverty through the power of donated child products and life-changing family services. GOOD+ Foundation grants donations of products and services to programs that have demonstrated a capacity to address family poverty in three focus areas: supporting new mothers, investing in early childhood and engaging fathers.
Description
Founded by Jessica Seinfeld in 2001, GOOD+ Foundation (formerly Baby Buggy) is a nonprofit organization that partners with a national network of leading programs to break the cycle of family poverty through the power of donated child products and transformational family services. GOOD+ Foundation carefully selects high performing anti-poverty programs working with families at a critical pivot point in their journey out of poverty.
These programs provide comprehensive services (counseling, job training, parenting support) over a long period of time, allowing GOOD + Foundation to provide children’s gear and supplies to encourage and reward parental program enrollment and achievement in these life-changing programs. In this way, we can provide immediate material needs for a child, while his or her parents take the steps necessary to move the family towards stability.
OUR IMPACT
Through the generous support of donors and over 50,000 volunteers, GOOD+ Foundation has donated over 45million items through its partner network across the United States. The organization has been rated 4-Stars by Charity Navigator and received national accreditation from the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance for its efficient fundraising and operations.
